His Majesty King Herbert the First, and his Valiant Husband Sir Lancelot.

•

So I’m not really an artist and I don’t really ever draw but my friend and I were discussing what Prince Herbert’s day clothes would look like when he isn’t wearing a dressing gown, and I suddenly had the intense drive to draw Herbert in a tunic. Of course I had to add Lance, and the curtains. One can never forget the curtains.

Like I said, I’m really not that good at drawing, but like… maybe if I start practicing more I could be halfway decent one day? Anyway, I should draw more. Yeah. I’m gonna do that.

This Kingly portrait is dedicated to that one person who could use something cheerful right now. You know who you are.

So I watched Big Hero 6 yesterday and it was a great film - but the best thing imo? Honey Lemon. Sit down folks because I need to tell you how amazing this girl is.

As a 21 year old girl who currently stands around the 6 foot mark (roughly 180cm), I have always been taller than average. When I was growing up, especially during my early teens, I was a head taller than most of my classmates and I ended up having a pretty bad height complex because of it. Being tall made me feel bulky and unfeminine. It caused a lot of self esteem problems and even now I sometimes find myself comparing heights with people out of habit.

I spent years getting over that issue. Then yesterday I see this film: and there’s a beautiful, tall girl who isn’t alienated or turned into a joke because of her height. Heck, she’s even proud of her height and wears heels to make herself taller (something I still can’t bring myself to do!). Do you realise how many young, tall girls out there are going to look up to Honey Lemon and see that they can be beautiful, that their height doesn’t make them any less feminine or attractive?

I probably can’t name a single children’s film aside from BH6 that has tall - and I mean tall, not ‘tall but not as tall as the men’ - female character who wasn’t portrayed as some kind of freak or joke. It’s almost like an unspoken law that girls have to be shorter than boys, and that’s actually really damaging for us tall girls who grow up towering over most men.

So the moral of the story is, Honey Lemon is a goddess who rocks her height and shows that it’s okay to be taller than all the boys. I have waited 21 years for a tall female role-model in kid’s films, and I finally have one. 10/10 Disney.

Side note: To all the people complaining about Honey Lemon being taller than Tadashi and saying it makes you feel uncomfortable, fuck you.

Snow White: For a 14yr old girl, I think I achieved a lot. I got out of an abusive situation, I kept my head held high in light of what happened to me, I demanded respect from a man who was rude to me and I got it, my movie helped Disney become what it is today, I helped people during the Great Depression and I even got my own Hollywood star! It may not seem like much but I think I did some pretty cool things. I wonder what the fandom thinks of me and what I have done.

Snow White: *Logs on to Tumblr*

Fandom: OMG, Snow White is so useless! She doesn't do anything! She is just there for looks. And all she does is wait for a man to save her.

Snow White:.....

Snow White:.................

Snow White: Ungrateful bitches.

My mom and I are watching The Sound Of Music Sing-Along and this conversation happened:

Mom: See this is what children used to do before technology. They went outside and enjoyed themselves.

Me: Mom, it's because Julie Andrews is their governess. If Julie was my governess I'd be willing to do anything she told me to do.
